Derivative residence card for non EEA member

[Michaelj]

I am a South african citizen. I am applying for a derivative residence card on the basis of being the primary carer of my British daughter(8 months old). Is there anyone out there who could advise me on which documents to submit..?
I have got all the usual stuff - Birth certificates, bank statements, tenancy agreements etc. I even have a letter from our local MP in support of our application.

Is there anything else I can submit or do to strengthen my application? What case law will be best to submit in my covering letter and what would be the best way to word it?
We would appreciate any help.
